Anyone else having trouble? Anyone know when the ebook version of v.30 is coming out?

The only version available here in the UK right now would cost me over £16 (about US $28) which is kind of excessive especially since I was hoping to get it on kindle anyway, having just bought my first tablet (a kindle fire).

It seems insane that you can't just buy it electronically. All our technology and there are still these silly limitations.

I wonder, if you say visited the US, could you get things from amazon.com? Or would you also need a US bank account or card to draw from? Then again, there are Amazon gift cards... But they might be coded too. What a pain.

It looks like Amazon.com will take my credit card for paper books, but for kindle books in place of the "Buy" button it just says "Kindle titles are available for UK customers on Amazon.co.uk". The kindle doesn't seem to be out yet anyway.

I've tried buying epubs before from Barnes and Noble but they certainly don't take UK credit cards.

The paper copy from Amazon.com is marginally cheaper but of course there's the long wait and worry that it might not arrive at all. (My problems getting paper copies of Asimov's here in the swamp are infamous). So I'll probably get it over here, or just wait and hope the ebook arrives eventually!

If you (or anyone else) ever needs me to act as a go-between, I'm happy to. I have free shipping with Amazon to me, and I can package and mail overseas. We can work out reimbursement through Paypal, which converts easily between currencies.
